REENA LASERDA "Ano'ng nangyari? Bakit ka na-late kanina? Alam mo ba kung gaano kaimportante ang meeting na 'yon?!" Inis kong sabi pagkatapos naming pumasok sa bahay. Lumapit sa akin si Atlas at hinawakan ang kamay ko. "I'm sorry, baby. Na-late ako ng gising kasi madaling-araw na akong nakauwi. May tinapos pa kasi ako sa office—" "Wala along pakielam! Muntik ng mawala ang deal na iyon nang dahil sa'yo." Mariin kong sabi habang dinuduro ang dibdib nito. Huminga siya ng malalim at pumikit. Pagdilat nito ay nakita ko ang pagod sa kanyang mga mata. "It won't happen again, Reena. I promised." Tinalikuran ko na ito at pumasok na sa kuwarto namin. Hinubad ko ang aking damit bago tumapat sa shower. Dalawang taon na kaming kasal ni Atlas at nagsimula na ring lumago ang negosyo na iniwan sa amin ng mga magulang ko. Alam kong naiintindihan niya kung bakit ayaw ko pang magkaanak dahil kailangan pa ako ng kumpanya. Hindi maaaring mawala ang lahat ng pinaghirapan nila ng dahil lang sa akin. Napasinghap ako nang may mga braso na humaplos sa aking tiyan. Idiniin ako ni Atlas sa dingding ng banyo habang magkalapat ang aming katawan. "You are the most beautiful woman I've ever met. You already know that. You are beautiful and intoxicating me. And I'm going to bury myself between your legs right now. Spread your legs for me." He said in a rough voice. I am aching for him, throbbing past the point of no return. I wanted him so badly it's like my desire has become its own life force here in the theatre with him. I parted my legs. He bends down and traces his tongue across all the wetness between my legs. I loop my hands in his hair, holding onto him and pulling him closer. I am undone. Completely and utterly undone for him. I call out his name, and it echoes around the bathroom as I come on his mouth, his tongue, his lips. He held tight to my hips, slowing his moves, but still kissing me until I can't take it anymore, and he pulled away. With his c**k nestled tantalisingly between my legs, he brought a hand to my breasts, finding my n****e with unerring ease and gently pinching the peaked nub between his finger and thumb, rolling it between them and sending an echoing shiver of awareness from my t**s directly to my womanhood. "Look at me, Reena." My eyes flew open to meet his heated stare. "I want you to keep your eyes open and look at me. I want to watch your expression as I slide into you." "Oh, baby..." I moaned again and he smiled down at me sexily as his c**k twitched against my opening. I forgot how to breathe all over again as I felt him stretch me, inch by pleasurable inch, until he was firmly ensconced inside me. I woke up with a radiating pain in my lower body. Naramdaman kong sumiksik sa aking leeg si Atlas habang nakapalupot ang mga braso nito sa aking bewang. Tumingin ako sa orasan at biglang napabangon nang maisip na may meeting nga pala ako ngayon. Umungol so Atlas dahil sa pagtayo ko. "Bakit nagmamadali ka?"Tanong nito. "s**t, may meeting ako ngayon. I'm late." "So what? You're the boss. Hindi naman sila pwedeng magreklamo kung late ka." "That's a stupid reason, Atlas. Paano nila ako susundin kung mismong ako ay sumusuway rin sa mga rules." Kinuha ko na ang tuwalya at pumasok ng banyo para maligo. Paglabas ko ay bumungad sa akin ang mahalimuyak na luto ni Atlas mula sa kusina. Humarap ito sa akin at ngumiti. "Mag-almusal muna tayo." "Dalhin mo nalang iyan sa office, baby. I have to go." Mabilis ko itong hinalikan sa labi bago tuluyang umalis. Nang matapos ang aking meeting ay pumasok na ako sa aking opisina. Naabutan kong nakaupo si Atlas sa aking upuan habang madilim ang kanyang mukha. Napalunok ako nang magtama ang aming mga mata. "Are you still mad at me?" I asked in a small, nervous voice when I reached him. "I was never really mad at you." I held up my thumb and forefinger. "Just a tiny bit?" He run a hand through his hair. "Just annoyed. In general. But I'm not anymore." He pats his lap. "Come here." Sinunod ko ito at ipinalupot ang aking braso sa kanyang leeg. "Nasaan na 'yung breakfast ko?" "You're looking at it." He smiled. I giggled. "Ang harot mo. This is an office." Ilang hibla nalang ang layo nang aming labi nang biglang tumunog ang intercom. "Ma'am, Mister Ocampo of AMI has arrived." Napatayo ako kaagad at inayos ang aking damit. I pressed the lower button of the intercom and responded. "Thank you. I'll meet him at the conference room four." I heard my husband sighed and towered me. "Reena, you're too workaholic. Baka makasama na ito sa'yo." "I'm alright." I tiptoed and gave him a light smack in the lips. "See you later, babe. I love you." "I—" Hindi ko na nahintay pa ang kanyang sasabihin at lumabas na sa office. ATLAS LASERDA "Baby, wake up." Napamulat ako nang paulit-ulit na may tumawag sa aking pangalan. Bumungad sa akin ang malungkot na mukha ni Reena. "Kanina pa kita hinihintay na dumating." Saad ko habang umaayos ng upo. Humikbi ito at umupo sa aking kandungan. Pinalupot niya ang kanyang braso sa aking leeg at siniksik ang ulo roon. Hinaplos ko ang kanyang buhok. "What happened?" "I... I f-failed. The deal between our company and AMI is off. I'm a failure." Ah, she cannot bend the Ocampos, huh? "You're not, babe. It's gonna be fine. Stop crying." Alo ko sa aking asawa. Inilayo ko ng kaunti ang aming katawan at pinunaan ang mga luha sa kanyang pisngi. "Ano'ng gagawin natin, Atlas?" "Leave it to me."  "But—" "Do you trust me?" "Yes." Pinagdikit ko ang aming noo. "That's what I want to hear." Unti-unti ay lumiwanag ang mukha nito na siya namang nagpalito sa akin. "Babe... I have an idea..." "What is it?" I have a bad feeling about this. She smiled at me widely. "Alam ko na kung sino ang lalapitan ko para makatulong sa merging natin with the Ocampos." Kumunot ang aking noo. "Akala ko ba—" Bago pa man ako matapos sa sasabihin ay tumayo na siya agad at kinuha ang phone sa loob ng itim na bag. Tumipa siya roon at pagkatapos ay inilagay sa tainga ang phone. "Hi, Jane. Can you schedule a meeting for me and KGC's President Ong? Yeah, tomorrow lunch if possible." KGC's President Ong? Isn't one of the guy she dated back in college? Why would she seek his help when she has me?! I already have a plan for it. Natapos ang usapan at nakita kong bumalik ang saya sa mga mata nito. Lumapit ito sa akin at hinalikan ako sa labi. "Thank you for always listening to my troubles, baby." I smiled at her. There's nothing I can do, huh. "Of course. I love you." "And I love you too." She said and gave me a light kiss on the lips.
